Tesla Energy is bringing battery, solar, and charging technologies to the grid, establishing new industries and defining the future of renewable energy ecosystems. This team is at the forefront of how we will generate, distribute, and consume power today and in the future. Our team is composed of individuals who are fast-moving, self-motivated, who love to solve difficult problems, and are team players.
As part of the Thermal Design Team, you will model and drive the design of the thermal systems, including refrigerant cycles and air/coolant systems, that help make Tesla Energy products world class, working with a highly motivated and interdisciplinary team that rethinks how thermal systems should be designed from the ground up. In this role, you will start from blank page designs and build up to the top-level system design ownership with a first principles design approach. Your expertise will be applied to everything from the high-level system layout and performance scoping, to the detailed analysis of fluid, heat transfer, and thermodynamic fundamentals of heat pump cycle components and broader thermal system components.
The role is collaborative and cross-functional, requiring extensive interfacing with teams including systems engineering, parallel design teams, electrical/firmware engineering, and validation test, to name a few. This role requires the ability to apply engineering fundamentals to design thermal systems that are at the core of Tesla’s success.
